Shakira bids emotional farewell after ex Pique's dad eviction notice

Shakira has said adios to Barcelona for the last time following her split with Gerard Pique.

The pop star is starting a new life in Miami after reportedly being served an 'eviction notice' by her ex's dad, Joan Pique.

The 46-year-old Columbian singer received an email from Pique's dad on March 13 asking her to vacate the former couple's home by April 30 - or pay compensation, reports the Spanish press.

Pique, 35, who previously played for F.C Barcelona, has now moved on with Clara Chia Marti, 24.

And now, it looks like Shakira is getting as far away from the couple as possible reports the Mirror.

Dressed in double denim, the star tearfully hugged her friends and family before heading off on her private jet.

The Hips Don't Lie singer was accompanied by her two sons, Milan, 10, and Sasha, 8, who are rumoured to be starting school in America on April 11.

On Sunday, she took to Instagram to address her departure. She wrote: "I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to family, friends and the sea.

"Today we start a new chapter in the search for our happiness.

“Thanks to everyone there who encouraged me, dried my tears, inspired me and made me grow.

“Thanks to my Spanish fans who have always protected me with their love and loyalty.”

She went on to share a photo of a wing of the plane she left the Catalan capital, adding: “But things are not always how we dreamed them.

“At times we run but we don’t arrive.

“Never doubt that I’m going to be here.”

Her departure comes after the mum-of-two performed her 'diss track' Shakira Bzrp Music Sessions 53 on the Jimmy Fallon show, telling the host the song had been "a healthy way to channel my emotions", adding she'd had to "put up with so much c**p".

The singer later looked like she was crying while out shopping in New York with Spanish newspaper El Periodico reporting the alleged 'eviction' email was the reason for her tears.

The news outlet reported Shakira had been told she had to leave the mansion in Barcelona where she has continued to live following her split last year from Pique.

The house, where Shakira and family lived, is said to have been owned by the former couple before Joan Pique became the sole shareholder, following his son's split with the singer.

Spanish media have not specified how much “compensation” Shakira would have had to pay as part of the agreement when the property ownership changed last September if she hadn’t left by the end of this month.
